Default Zero VOC Paint

Next time you decide to redecorate consider using Eco-friendly paint. Green Planet Paints has come out with a hand-crafted environmentally responsible paint. Instead of petrochemicals, the ingredients include a soy-based resin which equals zero volatile organic compounds, or VOC's, reports Jetson Green.

The dyes are mineral based, and the color pigments are clay based. Pigments are derived from ancient Mayan clay pigments. The product is recommended for interior uses. Sustainable product manufacturing with a reduced environmental footprint makes this one a winner. You won't be disappointed with the color choices or performance.

I have also heard of these paint brands:

AFM Safecoat

Milk Paint - which comes in a powder that you mix yourself

Mythic Paint

All of these are supposed to be low or zero VOC. I think the milk paint is zero while the other two are not zero but low VOC. I am not sure.

Just thought I would share.

I heard that Home Depot now offers a low VOC paint. I am not currently needing any, but I will keep these names in mind. I would like to try milk paint some time.

I have not tried these either yet. When we redo our sons rooms I will have to try some. Has anyone on here used the brands above? Just wondering what the coverage is like?

I got Low VOC paint from Home Depot when I painted my son's room. I can't remember the brand but couldn't really tell the difference between that and the paints I have used in the past. Coverage seemed to be the same.
